I wouldn't even submit my recording unless I'd be 100% comfortable with the quality myself, but I have abit of a situation here.
My new singer (whom I took aboard just 2-3 weeks ago after kicked out my old one from a band) had toured with her previous band quite intensively, and she remained on good terms with her old label.
So, they told us that we have until next month to give them a 4-track demo CD and if they like it enough, they'll put us on the national tour for the summer (because they know her and hard worked with her before, so it's really up to our music).
Now, I understand that it's just a demo disk and they wouldn't in particulary care about the quality, however I just want to get your opinion if you were in that position.
Here's an instrumental of one of my tracks from months ago - recorded straight into Roland BR600, didn't have a bass, used build-in drum-machine, and back then I didn't have a pre-amp or EQ (guitar obviously DI-ed). I "mixed" it abit in cubase - but it had been my first week of working in it, and I only had my Logitech 2.1 speakers as "monitors" .
We'll be recording our demo EP in a small studio that some guys lend us for a couple of days as a favour, but as a consequence we have to record everything ourselves. It's gonna sound better than this track, but I really don't have enough skill and experience yet to make it *that* better.
My question is - is that quality okay-ish enough for a demo, or I'd rather sell my kidney and hire a proper studio and an engineer for a week?

PS.: Greg, you might want to turn your monitors down alil bit!
